take a drink, take a drink and
take a drink, you take a drink
take a drink, take a drink and then
my friend, you’ll sink

take a drink, take a drink and
take a drink, take a drink
take a drink, take and drink and then
you’ll sink!

daily rituals to make you tall
but Alice cookies make you small, might bake us all
you take a fall
speech out of reach
stretch into the depths to correct
and scale the wall steady piling up
defiling
blown to wind as dust in a puff
but
same wind might blow us up
and rise above

if we can’t find the room to grow
we will im (fucking) plode
when we can’t find the room to grow old
we must expand the mold

wicked will overwhelm the gifted when I’m lifted
and fall into the trance of the mythic
Maya got you higher than the trade center before the planes hit it
didn’t get it cuz you’re lost, though
frozen in your ice floe
mice holes, trapped
to be specific: you’re headed for the snap
when you’re cheese molds, you’ll get a taste of that

entranced by a dance called strife
orchestrated by this thing called life
say “I do” to the gun on the right
you are now man and wife
take a life
gotta get cash or be hungry tonight
run fast or surrounded by lights
death or behind bars for life, so
a dim light and a pen and pad
any experience I ever had
and music that could really move a mass
right fast, make cash, outlast
if criminal mind is left behind
then lyrical side can steady grind
never find my place in rhyme
how the hell can I rise above?

if we can’t find the room to grow
we will im (fucking) plode
when we can’t find the room to grow old
we must expand the mold

the level, the level is difficult to elevate when you’re walking with
the devil
will get you, grip you, rip you, split you anew

if we can’t find the room to grow
we will implode
I said, when we can’t find the room to grow old
we must expand the mold
(I don’t think you hear me)
if we can’t find the room to grow
we will implode
Now, now, when we can’t find the room to grow old
we must expand the mold
(amen)
